Brightline has already been involved in numerous accidents and fatalities in South Florida since the program launched earlier this year. The company now hopes the safety campaign will prevent any more accidents.

New signs in multiple languages have been put up by Brightline at several crossings up and down the tracks, trying to give everyone plenty of warning to stay out of the way.

However, residents say they worry the high speeds will be trouble no matter where signs are placed.

“I don’t understand the need for such high speed in the community that’s just my take on it," said Pauline Cooper.

Brightline will continue testing the new southern routes with several practice round-trips each day. The ramp-up to faster speeds will happen over the next few weeks.
